FIRST RESPONSE AND EMERGENCY AID

First Response and Emergency Aid is not to be confused with a generic first aid course, in which an individual only needs to keep a casualty alive long enough for an ambulance to arrive, which is on average in the UK just 8 minutes. Outside of the UK, maybe in an emerging nation or one in conflict, there may be little or no emergency medical care available and more often than not a casualty will need to be stabilised and transported to a medical facility. HEAT First Response and Emergency Aid Training is helps to fill the gap between basic first aid and being an Emergency Medical Technician or Paramedic. Focusing on the use of simple but proven effective techniques to treat injuries from minor grazes and sprains to total limb amputation and open fractures. The training also looks at injuries and conditions caused by environmental factors and stresses such as the effects of climate and temperature, heart attacks and poisoning. In addition to life saving skills, which can be used in any environment, home or abroad HEAT First Response and Emergency Aid training adds evacuation of casualties, the manufacture of an environment specific first aid kit and the use of modern treatment agents and devices into the equation. When an incident occurs it is invariably training that enables you to treat a friend or colleague with as much emotional detachment and professionalism as possible. Do you want to be the member of your group who lacks the knowledge or skill to save a life?
